So why is it there are plenty of people drinking iced coffees, wearing loose sweats*? I still do my weird drinking of iced coke, but that is just an old habit. And I do it after my power Winter breakfast.

*And many wear tights in summer.?
 
Right now, it is 0 C (32 F) and snowing quite hard; accumulation of 30 - 40 centimetres (12 - 16 inches) between now and Saturday.

The forecast high/low (without wind chill) is -21 C / -27 C (-6 F/-17 F) on Saturday and -22 C/ -28 C (-8 F/-18 F) on Sunday.

Bring me back a muffin!

After the brutal cold of last week, we are now having a rapid warming. They are predicting record high temps for this time of the year around here. All that melting snow may cause localized flooding.

We are definitely going from one extreme to the other within a span of less than a week.

I think that may be a bit too Canadian for the average reader. (I found a Timmies in Wheeling, WV of all places. I think the southernmost one is in Norfolk)

I believe that is correct. Tim Horton's seems to be Midwest and NE. There are locations in NY City and suburbs, and cities in upstate, like Buffalo. Albany apparently doesn't have one, nor Poughkeepsie. I encountered some in Maine, which was a first time, and saw them in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The westernmost in the US is the one in Minot, ND.

Folks in the US should be aware that it's a bit colder in parts of Canada, e.g., Yellowknife, Churchill, Winnipeg, Iqualuit, . . . .

Buffalo has a bunch, I'm waiting for them to come to the DC area. A friend of mine years ago thought they put addictive substances into their coffee, he couldn't get enough.

Interesting. Minot is home to a big Air Force base, and Norfolk a big Navy base. Are we going to see them pop up at Fort Bragg or Twentynine Palms?
